+Cross-binutils debian packages are directly built from the binutils
+source package together with the native binutils packages.
+
+To build a cross-binutils package which is not yet built:
+
+ o Download and unpack the binutils source package:
+
+    apt-get source binutils
+
+ o Ensure you have the binutils build-dependencies installed:
+
+    apt-get build-dep binutils
+
+ o Add the binutils-<your-target> package to the control file:
+
+    rm -f stamps/control
+    debian/rules stamps/control TARGET=<your-target>
+
+    This change is permanent and will survive 'make clean'.  If you
+    need to restore the original debian/control file:
+
+    rm -f stamps/control
+    debian/rules stamps/control TARGET=
+
+ o Then build the cross-binutils package:
+   
+    TARGET=<your-target> dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us 
+    or 
+    echo arm >debian/target; dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us
+
+   (substitute your target name, e.g. "arm" or "m68k", instead of
+    "<your-target>")

+When reporting binutils errors, please provide the actual input files
+and options given to the tool (gas, objcopy, ld, etc.) at run time.
+This can mean the difference between a pleasant debugging experience
+and a heisenbug that becomes unreproducible when gcc's code generation
+changes.
+
+For example, to create a testcase for an "ld" problem, first find the
+"gcc" command line that triggers the error:
+
+ $ make
+ ... output ending in an error ...
+ $ make V=1 VERBOSE=1 2>&1 | head -1
+
+Add "-v" after gcc and run it again.  One of the early output lines
+will be an invocation of collect2.  Replace collect2 with "ld" and
+it should reproduce the same error.  If you collect all the objects
+(including system libraries) mentioned on the "ld" command line in a
+tarball and send it along with the ld command line then that is a
+testcase.
+
+A possible step after that is to try omitting some objects from the
+ld command line and see if it still triggers the same error, but
+that's just icing on the cake.
+
+Happy debugging!

+16k pagesize kernel is provided that enables compat support, and is
+therefore able to execute armhf user space. The only impediment is the
+fact that armhf binaries are no longer compatible with this, due to the
+change below.
+
+To accommodate this use case, revert the patch. This makes the generated
+executables compatible with compat mode on arm64 systems running 16k
+kernels.
